1) Look at the student’s work.
|
Civil Rights Act |
The Civil Rights act was
proposed by Senator Charles Sumner and Congressman Benjamin Butler in 1870.
This act was created to ensure equality to every American citizen in public. It
was signed on March 1, 1875, but it was deemed unconstitutional a few years
later by the Supreme Court. Emulating the idea, the Civil Rights Act of 1964
outlawed racial segregation in public places such as schools and the work
place. In a civil rights speech given by John F. Kennedy in 1963,
distributing equality to everyone
was the president's main focus and the bill was introduced from that point. |
